    Like the PC-Game 04-04-14... could be!

    As Kai Schober said in a german discussion: They still work at the console version.

    We still need a date, but l think @AngryNord‌ the date above could be a good and realistic time.

    With all the bad reputation the PC version is getting at the moment, I don't think they are aiming for a console release that soon. They need to get the PC version to a good place, both in terms of technology and customer satisfaction, before they can market it on the consoles. Besides, the many problems with the PC version make it clear that they still don't have a game that is reliable and balanced enough for a console release. In all, it seems likely that the console release is not exactly imminent. I'm just guessing, though.

    All I see is console players getting upset and threatening to no play because it got delayed. If console players really refused to play a game because of delays they are going to have a very sad library of games this generation.

    I wrote this in late October with the idea that ZOS would be making an annoucement in December.
    I expect that we will have a release date announcement in the next few weeks and that people will be playing ESO on the console within the next 6 months.

    At that time I expected that the console would come after Champion System and that Champion System would be complete in Update 7.
    I expect everything will be finished and ready around Update 8, which is in March. If I am right, the console will ship prior to or on the first anniversary. There is a possibility that they could hold until the first week of April and combine the console release with the first anniversary and relaunch the game. This could be a smart move to counter both the initial lackluster reviews and the delay of the console.

    Considering it hasn't even entered beta testing yet, I wouldn't expect it until next summer at the EARLIEST. More realistically, I wouldn't expect it until next fall. And that's assuming that beta testing starts soon, and that it's not just cancelled altogether.

    Hate to tell you but no.

    Just to clarify, Update 6 will be coming to the PTS in January. This is our biggest Update yet--it's like two Updates in one--so we want to give ample time for testing. It won't be coming to the live servers in January.

    So February maybe. Hope they give us at least a month or more of testing. Plus they want the justice system in before console. 1.6 will be the first phase of Justice System.

    If PvP gets any worse for PC users, I'll be switching to console ESO. Plenty of people have been waiting for the console release.

    Oh add on's, how I'll miss you.
    Been here since Feb 2014 - You'd think I'd be half reasonable at this game by now...

    It's actually easier to work out bugs on console version. Everyone who owns an Xbox One or a PS4, has the exact same hardware configuration. Unlike a PC, where the hardware configurations are practically infinite.

    I can wait longer as long as it's done right. But a lot of people are talking about removing their preorders... it's been 6 months as is, and while i think it's best to work out bugs and wait for the new content to be fully tested and ready i also know that the longer they wait the more people just stop caring.

    I know what it is like to be on an endless pre-order list. I am on a pre-order for a new product (not a gaming one) for two years now. Since the pre-order opened, they have gone through several different revisions of the hardware, each one characterized as The Final one, and they have even changed the name of the product. About once a year, so far, they have asked if I am still interested in being on the pre-order list.

    Staying on this pre-order does not cost me anything. They don't even have my payment information. Since there is no chance of them suddenly shipping anything without me knowing it in advance, there is really no downside to staying on the pre-order list.

    This is how I view the ESO console pre-order, whether to pre-order it and whether to cancel an existing pre-order. They cannot ship this thing without people knowing in advance. There is no reason to make any decisions now. Any decision made closer to the actual ship date will be much more informed than the one made today.

    $100 is the Physical Edition of the Imperial. It comes with a Molag Bal statue. and some other stuff. The Digital Imperial is the $80. The physical was $100 for PC also. You can buy the regular then upgrade to the Imperial later.

    Thanks for clearing that up. By the time it comes out i might just pay off the physical imperial edition.

    Thought about this for a while now, definitely going to have a crack at the console version.

    For one reason, population at console release will be fantastic!

    First the update will be like:
    Typically steep system requirements are a barrier to many gamers. However, unlike most other MMOGs, Age of Conan won't be solely available on the PC. Gamers have the unique option of playing AoC on Xbox 360 and possibly on PS3.

    And later you read something like:
    Funcom hasn’t given up on a console port of their almighty MMORPG powerhouse, the Age of Conan. The company announced that the project is still in the works for Microsoft’s Xbox 360.

    And in the end it will be like:
    Three years on and Funcom has finally given up on Age of Conan for Xbox 360.

    The barbaric MMO was announced for Microsoft's console in 2006. Two years and many game delays later, we heard that the 360 version would arrive a year after the PC game.

    In the months and years after Age of Conan was released on PC and clearly needed lots more work, Funcom staunchly stood by the 360 version's existence on - four - separate - occasions.

    Today, however, executive producer Craig Morrison throws in the towel.

    "There's no plans for it at the moment," he told Eurogamer.

    ٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶
    "I am a nightblade. Blending the disciplines of the stealthy agent and subtle wizard, I move unseen and undetected, foil locks and traps, and teleport to safety when threatened, or strike like a viper from ambush. The College of Illusion hides me and fuddles or pacifies my opponents. The College of Mysticism detects my object, reflects and dispels enemy spells, and makes good my escape. The key to a nightblade's success is avoidance, by spell or by stealth; with these skills, all things are possible."

    No idea that funcom had smoked, however its no way they could managed to get AoC to run on 360 with 512 total memory, that is without totally rebuilding the game and probably butchered it.
    Not saying it would be impossible however it would be very hard.
    Had AoC been an WOW killer it would be worth trying, not else.

    Does not relates to ESO, system demands is lower than PS4, yes you might have to remove some eye candy and it would not run in HD but no issue having it running.

    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.
